man nj the head OF the next presiden-
tal ticket Plainly, il must be uncom-
promisngly in favor Of u high protective
tariff, and uncompromisingly opposed To
the south. Opposition to revenue reform,
and opposition to southern participation in
national adaiIs-thcsc are the two ideas,
and the only two, which Mr.. Sherman
represents, and of which he is the chieiest
incarnation. With him in the lead, the
only party cries will be, Cup with taxes!"
and "Up with the bloody shirt" To such

The question then is, can the Republican
PARTY sin 81. such issues? As well might

Times says, be less than 1000, We doubt
II there ia u politician in the country who
in his widest moments Of guessing or an
ticipation dreamed OF figures like these
There was ~ much Of opposition TO en-
counter, 10 many outside parties TO sapihc
strength of the Democratic party, that it
was deemed doubtful il II could even hold
its own. There were two labor parties
well organized and differed and led by as
able dcbatcrs rs there are in the Union: then
there was the Prohibition party, besides
the old onemy--the Republican party
which had achieved 20 many Victories aud
was better equipped rs to money than ever
To achieve such victory in the face o I
these odds is an accomplishment almost
without parallel in the history OF the En-
pirc state. The Herald Slys, and the SIM
and World agree with il, that II is due 10

that this unparalleled result is largely due
To the Herald, the sun and the Star.
